Active Melee Effect Ability Self-Inflict

[Stavrdaf]

The active melee effect ability of Uruk Maceman and Gondor Captain can be self-inflicted when taking fall damage and having the weapon that can do the ability in hand. Specifically:

• Gondor Captain has to activate his ability and take fall-damage within the activation timeframe to self inflict the effects of the ability
• Uruk Maceman doesn't have to activate his ability and can simply hold the weapon in his hand and take fall-damage to self-inflict the effects. The effects of instant damage is applied over multiple instances over the duration causing the user to die from a 4 block fall after some seconds. See attachment, top right corner shows the instant damage icon, half-filled heart with a minus sign, attachment taken from a 4 block fall.

Addendum
Classes with active melee abilities can self-inflict their effects from other damage sources too but they have to specifically do damage to the player when he has the ability active but not having it used.

Specifically for Gondor Captain on Black Gate, when hit with the Morgul Orc poison sword passive ability while having his mace ability active he self-inflicts the mace effects on only the first damage tick of poison.
Moreover, when hit with Haradrim Archer poison arrows and activating the ability you can also self inflict the effects of the mace on the first tick of the poison.

Lastly, keep in mind that the condition for self inflicting effects, either when holding the weapon or having the ability active seems to change from map to map for the same class, for some reason, sometimes it's one or the other.
